Bollywood is officially entering its romcom era with continuous romantic releases, including its OTT release Aap Jaisa Koi. R. Madhavan and Fatima Shaikh are coming together as Shirenu and Madhu. Their lives are opposites, with the former being bound by tradition while the latter lives unapologetically. Their paths cross and are interlaced with romance that we can only think might be awkward, sweet, and sweltered with pricks of patriarchy and age-old thinking. Can't wait to see the cuteness hit the roof with this old-school romance!

Cast: R. Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Manish Chaudhari

Jessica's "live a life of solitude like a Bronte sister” plan goes to dust when she decides to give the connection with sleep-till-noon Felix a chance, but will it create more problems than solve? Guess, you'll have to watch this one to find out.

You may not know the brand American Apparel, but the history of America will tell you enough about this brand that rose to fame in the 2000s.
